FASCIA-AWARE TRAINING EXAMPLES
FROM THE BOOK FASCIA TRAINING IN APPLICATION
Loading muscles and tendons with long, max effort isometric holds induces “Stress Relaxation” and helps balance the muscle, tendon, and myofascial tissues around the TMJ and reduce the risk of muscle tears.
Researchers at the Berlin School of Movement Science determined that the optimal tending training strategy (dubbed the “Berlin Method”) involves doing short sessions of maximum-intensity isometric holds every other day over the course of 14-weeks. This method was shown to a beneficial tendon training stimulus for safely increasing speed and power.
